After more than 100 years, several owners and name changes, a laundry list of community events and more than 1 million tickets sold, the New 400 Theaters in Rogers Park has closed to the public, the theater announced on social media Friday.
The theater, which took on its current name in 2009, first opened as The Regent vaudeville and movie house in 1912, according to its website. Since then, it has cemented itself as a neighborhood staple — and much more than just a big screen.
